What Our CNC Machining Company Offers
CNC Milling
CNC milling is an advanced machining technique that uses computer-controlled machinery to create precise and intricate parts from a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
The workpiece is securely fastened to a worktable, and a rotating cutting tool shapes the material according to the design specifications. This tool moves along multiple axes—X, Y, and Z—allowing it to create complex shapes and features like holes, slots, pockets, and contours with impressive accuracy.
By utilising advanced software and automation, CNC milling achieves exceptional precision in crafting intricate designs. These machines can also accommodate various cutting tools, such as end mills, drills, and taps, to meet a wide range of milling requirements.
The Types Of CNC Milling Machines
At Sotek Engineering, we have a diverse selection of CNC milling machines, including:
• Vertical Milling Machines: These feature a vertical spindle that moves up and down along the X and Y axes.
• Horizontal Milling Machines: With a horizontal spindle, these machines move side-to-side along the X and Z axes.
• 5-Axis Milling Machines: Capable of handling highly complex designs, these machines move the cutting tool along five axes.
• Gantry Milling Machines: These utilise a fixed bridge that spans the workpiece, allowing the cutting tool to move along multiple axes.
The Applications Of CNC Milling
CNC milling machines are widely used across various manufacturing sectors due to their remarkable precision and ability to produce high-quality products.
Common industries that use CNC milling include automotive, aerospace, medical, defence, and many more.
The Benefits Of CNC Milling
CNC milling offers numerous advantages for the manufacturing sector, such as:
• Superior precision
• Reduced defects
• Minimal waste generation
• Enhanced production speed and efficiency
• Quick assembly processes
• Improved safety for personnel
• Lower energy consumption
• Decreased overall production costs
More Of Our CNC Services
CNC Turning
CNC turning is a machining process that utilises a computer-controlled lathe to create cylindrical or conical parts.
In this process, the workpiece rotates while a cutting tool, held in a tool turret or holder, moves along its surface to shape it into the desired form and size. This lathe can perform various functions, including facing, drilling, threading, and grooving.
Much like CNC milling, CNC turning is versatile and works with materials such as metals, plastics, and composites to produce parts with speed and precision.
The Features Of CNC Turning Machines
Bar Feeder: This useful tool automatically feeds raw materials, like metal bars or tubes, into the CNC lathe. It’s designed to handle multiple materials, reducing manual loading time and enhancing efficiency by allowing for the creation of long, cylindrical parts.
Driven Tooling: With driven tooling, CNC turning machines can create intricate features on the workpiece, such as holes and slots. This is achieved using rotating cutting tools powered by a motor, allowing multiple operations like drilling, tapping, and milling to be performed in one setup.
The Applications Of CNC Turning
CNC turning machines are widely used across various manufacturing sectors, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and defence.
Their capabilities contribute to improved production efficiency, shorter turnaround times, and reduced costs.
The Benefits Of CNC Turning
• Faster and more efficient production
• Maintains high precision standards
• Generates minimal waste
• Significantly reduces defects
• Enhances personnel safety
• Lowers energy consumption
• Cuts down overall production costs
• Offers flexibility
